Dear LSU Community,
LSU is closed tomorrow, including VetMed and Law. All LSU classes and activities scheduled for Wednesday -- whether in-person or virtual -- are cancelled.
LSU is remaining closed due to the amount of ice still on streets and bridges, power outages in the area, and the forecast of temperatures to remain below freezing. Please stay off campus roads while ice remains, as driving conditions are still hazardous.
The closure also includes the LSU Early Childhood Education Laboratory Preschool. LSU Online students should check with their Learner Concierge or faculty member for more information on those 100% online programs.
LSU bus service will also be suspended on Wednesday.
LSU residence halls, on-campus apartments and dining halls will remain open. Please check LINK for updates regarding dining hall hours.
Essential employees should check with their supervisors about whether they should report to work on Wednesday. Non-essential employees should not report to campus on Wednesday.
Please watch your LSU email account, www.lsu.edu, LSU’s official social media channels, and LSU emergency text messaging for any possible updates. Those who have not signed up for emergency text messages should do so at LINK by clicking on “Personal Preferences” and “Emergency Contacts.”

Mesoscale Discussion 0102
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0315 PM CST Tue Feb 16 2021
Areas affected...Oklahoma and much of north Texas
Concerning...Heavy snow
Valid 162115Z - 170115Z
SUMMARY...Areas of moderate to locally heavy snow will continue to
expand northeastward across the discussion area from western north
Texas this afternoon and evening. Rates of 1 inch per hour are
possible in heavier bands.
DISCUSSION...Lift associated with an ejecting mid-level wave over
New Mexico and an ejecting speed max across west-central Texas has
contributed to an expanding area of precipitation across the Texas
South Plains and western North Texas currently. Moderate to heavy
snow has been observed at Lubbock, Childress, and Hardeman County
over the past hour or so beneath heavier precipitation bands. The
precipitation was falling within nearly saturated mid-level
thermodynamic profiles observed via model soundings, and the
expectation is that low-level moistening will continue as
precipitation continues to expand in coverage. A warm layer
(approaching 0 deg C) was noted in profiles across portions of
western north Texas, which may foster occasional mixing with sleet
and even convective development especially on the southern extent of
the discussion area.
Over time, models support a general expansion of the precipitation
shield across much of the discussion area with potential for a
couple of areas of heavier precipitation - one across
north-central/central Oklahoma (near the US 412 corridor) and 2)
across southern Oklahoma, where isentropic lift (from convergent
850hPa flow) will contribute to heavier precipitation near the Red
River. Along the Red River, this increase in precipitation
intensity is expected to occur gradually through at least 02Z.

Took me a good chunk of the day but I now have both water wells back flowing out here in SWLA. My stepdaughter's apartment complex in LC has been without water all day. Not sure what's happening with the LC city water.

Drove from BR to St Charles Parish today on Airline entire way no issues. Roads were great.
I would imagine if you went same way other direction should be fine.

Whats the chances of getting from Baton Rouge to Alexandria? any closures on I-10 or I-49?
Posted on 2/16/21 at 4:22 pm to metallica81788
We are leaving Florida panhandle now and driving to Baton Rouge. Will exit at 10/12 split. That should be ok, right? Everything is melted now? We will get there around 9pm though.
